Sabotage of agreements and smears of the DA only serve to boost the EFF and ANC

It is indisputable that the best-performing municipalities in SA are those run by the DA. Cape Town and other DA-run municipalities in the Western Cape have become synonymous with good governance. And it is clear that the stronger the DA’s hold over a municipality, the better it performs. But this doesn’t mean a municipality must be dominated by the DA or go bust.
Municipalities governed by ANC majority councils consistently underperform and are marked by corruption, bad service delivery and the breakdown of infrastructure. Even tumultuous coalition-led municipalities such as Ekurhuleni tend to be better. In Johannesburg ActionSA sabotaged the appointment of a decent city manager in favour of an EFF-backed candidate with a history of corruption. Later, it helped oust both the DA speaker and the mayor, fomenting distrust and conflict within the governing coalition. In Ekurhuleni the party pulled out of the coalition to become an opposition party, crippling the coalition.
